I will bet anything they rebuild it, only it will probably be bigger, as they will probably get loads of donations. Maybe they will get the whole body this time, which was their initial plan. Originally Posted by rfisher

I heard this around 7:30 this morning; two minutes later I heard the first joke. I'm up to about 15 of them already.“In the hour of adversity, be not without hope; for crystal rain falls from black clouds.”.

That's quite ironic, isn't it?
Btw, isn't it proof that there's no God?

We have to see if it rises from the dead three days from now before we can make any conclusions.
Bob and Tom (morning DJs) think God was aiming for Larry Flynt's Hustler Club down the road and missed.“In the hour of adversity, be not without hope; for crystal rain falls from black clouds.”.

Oh my gosh, I saw that thing for the first time last November. I'm a Christian, and IT SCARED ME.
Who wants to bet it'll be rebuilt as quickly as possible?
